It is conveniently located at 2869 Lakeshore Boulevard; the store features the latest in furnishings, appliances, electronics and computers through a lease-to-own program.
To celebrate, easyhome's Vice President of Franchising, Steve Green and store owner and operator Bill Longlade will officially open theeasyhome store in Etobicoke to the community with a ribbon cutting ceremony and grand opening festivities including free refreshments and raffles.
Bill began his career in the leasing industry more than 25 years ago as a General Manager of a privately owned leasing company. Seven years later, he was recruited by Rent-A-Center as a Store Manager trainee, where he quickly delivered outstanding store results and service to his customers, earning him a promotion to Regional Manager and then to Vice President of Operations.

When asked to become an easyhome Franchisee, Bill's response was "I have enjoyed the independence but miss the people and being part of a large corporation. This is a great opportunity and I look forward to the challenge ahead."

I am confident that Bill and his team will continue to offer excellent customer service to this community under the easyhome banner.
